Sorry to put a dampener on it but...
"The path of totality is from just below the Greenland peninsula, heading north into the Arctic Circle, a course that takes it across the Russian island of Svalbard and also the Faero Islands, for a full 2 minutes 9 seconds of total solar eclipse."
Apparently you can get a boat from Newcastle that will take you there in time for it, guaranteed it'll be cloudy!

Yes sorry I should have said that it would be partial for most of us. Just think it could create an interesting album.SteveEveritt wrote:

I am think more pictures of Solar watchers than the eclipse itself.
Plenty of time to plan something just thought I would put it out there as a big community project we could set up.
